After Party
When last night caught up with you. The headache fades, the nausea settles, and you get your day back.
A full liter of fluids with nausea support, headache support and B1. Book it the morning after the wedding, the bachelor weekend, the game, or the night that went one round longer than planned, when water and a greasy breakfast aren't touching it.
A hangover is three problems at once. This bag handles all three.
Alcohol pulls water out of you, so you wake up dried out with a pounding head. It irritates your stomach, so you can't keep anything down to fix it. And it burns through B1, the vitamin your body uses to turn food into energy, which is why you feel flattened and not just thirsty.
After Party puts a liter of fluids straight back in, settles the nausea so it stays in, eases the headache, and replaces the B1 you lost. Our most requested morning-after drip.
What each ingredient does for you.
Fluids first, because dehydration is most of the headache. Then the two things that let the fluids do their job, and the vitamin alcohol takes with it.
Alcohol makes you lose far more water than you drink, and the headache, dry mouth and dizziness the next morning are mostly that. A full liter goes straight into your blood without waiting on a stomach that doesn't want anything in it. Lactated ringers carries sodium, potassium, calcium and chloride in close to the balance your blood already has, so it replaces what the night took, not just the water.
Zofran (ondansetron) is the nausea medicine hospitals use. It settles the signal from your stomach to your brain that says everything needs to come back up, which is what makes a hangover hard to fix on your own: you can't drink enough to catch up when you can't keep water down. With the nausea settled, you can eat and drink normally the rest of the day.
Toradol (ketorolac) is a non-steroid anti-inflammatory, in the same family as ibuprofen but given in the IV so it doesn't go through an irritated stomach. It eases the pounding behind your eyes and the whole-body soreness that comes with it. Because it's an NSAID, your nurse will check your history first, and it's not the right fit for everyone.
Your body uses B1 to turn food into energy and to run your nerves, and alcohol depletes it faster than almost anything else you do. That's a big part of why a hangover feels like exhaustion and not just a headache. Putting B1 back is what gets you from upright to functional.
Not sure After Party is the one? These might fit better.
After Party is the morning-after drip, built for the headache, the nausea and the dehydration together. If only one of those is the problem, or last night wasn't the cause, these three are the usual next stops.

Questions about the After Party drip.
How long does After Party take?
Most visits take about 30 to 45 minutes in the chair. Plan on a few extra minutes at check-in. Come as you are; nobody in the lounge is judging.
Can I walk in for After Party?
Yes, once you have been in before. New clients start with a free 10 minute intro so a nurse can review your health history. Your intro stays on file for three years, and after that you can walk in any time we're open. If you know a big weekend is coming, do the intro the week before so the morning after is a walk-in.
How is After Party different from Max Hydration?
Medications. Both start with the same liter of lactated ringers. Max Hydration adds magnesium and zinc for deep hydration and nothing else. After Party adds Zofran for nausea, Toradol for the headache, and B1 for what alcohol takes out of you. If you're just dried out, Max Hydration is the better pick. If your head is pounding and you can't keep water down, this is the one.
Can I get After Party at home?
Yes, and it's the drip people ask for at home most. Our mobile concierge brings it to your home, hotel or rental anywhere in the Birmingham area, for a $50 travel fee. A nurse can come to the whole group.
Can I add anything to it?
Yes. Add-ins go straight into your bag, and boosters are given during the same visit. Your nurse can help you choose.
Can my doctor see exactly what is in it?
Yes. Every ingredient and dose is listed on this page, so you can show it to your own doctor. You, or your doctor, can ask our nurse or doctor anything, any time. Just call us at (205) 210-9797.
